A few of us in the chatroom have been streaming live back and forth to each other and small audiences for the last several weeks. Inspired by the energy from NYE, we thought it was time to have another streaming event.

Sunday, Febuary 22nd has been chosen as electro-musicWinter Stream09. This event is open to all members of electro-music.com. We would prefer that people stream a LIVE performance from their studios. If you cannot perform LIVE, we can probably make an exception. If you would like to participate in this event please post the following info on this page asap:

Preferred Start Time (GMT/UTC):
Name (stage name if there is one):
Location:
Real name:
Username:
Set Length (30 or 60 min.):
1 or 2 Paragraph Description:

Please note: "Preferred Start Time". We will do the best that we can to accommodate people to their requested times. However, please be flexible because this event will have European and American musicians in many different time zones. Time slots will be on a semi-"first come-first served" basis... with European musicians taking preference to play earlier in the day due to the 6 to 7 hour time difference.

As in the past, the CHATROOM will serve as an invaluable communication tool for set up, streaming, and connecting to those listening. I suggest participants get familiar with it in advance, if you aren't already.

If you want a recording of your set, it would be prudent to record your own set, rather than depend on others. Accidents and mistakes happen...especially in this format. There are many ways to record your set. Edcast has a built in recording system. You can also record your stream from your mixer on the signal path to the computer.

It is IMPERATIVE that everyone test their connections before we start streaming. At least 24 hours before or sooner. Sorry, but musicians WILL NOT be allowed to stream on Sunday if you do not test 24 hours before hand. Not only does it delay the schedule, but causes unneeded stress on performer, server operator, and audience during performance time.

It would be best if everyone could stream at 128 kbps, 44.1 kHz , stereo if possible.

Mosc: TO DO THE STREAMING, all you need is a PC with Oddcast (now called Edcast), a free program. If you have a MAC, you can use the Nicecast program (free demo works for a month the last time we tried it) to stream. If you are are interested in participating, we'll set up a test server just for you to experiment on to make sure you can get it to work.

Preferred Start time (GMT) 9PM - but I'm flexible on starts.

1 or 2 paragraph description

This slot will probably be somewhat more ambient than the NYE slot which was heavily Klee-inspired. I'll be making use of the Neuron as well as the various "more conventional" analogue synthesizers in my studio. This will be "mostly improvised", in keeping with previous performances._________________Garret: It's so retro.

Blurb: I'll be trying out an ambient looping set, possibly with some minimal sequencing, using G2, Repeater and Evolvers. It will be improvised live on the night._________________Jez

Set Length: 1 hour
paragraph description: I will be playing an improvised set of Tribal Ambient, SpaceMusic styles. I will be performing on synths, sequencers, sampler, and effects processing. Because of the physical nature of the event, I will also be utilizing many of the instruments in my studio that I often cannot take to gigs such as vibraphone, African and Cuban percussion, and electronic percussion._________________ ElectroCasa

Preferred Start Time: GMT flexible around midnight, 30 min session, let that to your criteria.

description: I'll be playing my upright through midi converter to G2 and will use Live to make loops controlled with pk5a pedal. It will be improvised, maybe a metal thing, who knows?!

I'll be running my No Wave Generator, a ChucK program that I wrote. No Wave was popular from 1978 to 1992 in New York. It is characterized by a lack of characterization, a mix of hard driving rhythms along with gentle wandering tones. The generator has Guitar, Drums, and Sax. I will play the generator by occasionally pressing keyboard buttons which randomly generate a new instrument, tempo, or logic table._________________"Let's make noise for peace." - Kijjaz

Preferred Start Time (GMT/UTC): Anytime before 11.00 PM GMT
Name (stage name if there is one): Antimon

Set Length (30 or 60 min.): 30 min
1 or 2 Paragraph Description: I've been rehearsing a song that I hope to submit to the monome compilation album Auditory Canvas is managing over at the monome forum. It's all about launching clips live from the monome and cutting them up a bit - I'll try to make some more clips to play.

I'm going to play too, but first I have to write programs to automate the shoutcast servers. Unfortunately, this is a trial and error process. Right now, none of the servers are working, so if anyone was using a test server that I gave you for the NYE concert, it is down. Everyone will get a new port/password pair for this stream. I hope to be able to get this running today, but I'm wise enough not to guarantee anything in software development.

My goal it to have the shoutcast servers manageable by other admins than me via a web interface. Then we can do these things when I'm not personally available. The machine we are using is OSX and it's not exactly like Linux, so I'm having some transition difficulties. I'm sure it will eventually work though._________________--Howard

I'd like to join in.
However, I am having trouble with Nicecast.
I purchased it for the nye stream and could not get it to stream.
I know there was something I was overlooking or did not do.
If anyone could be so kind as to walk me through it in laymans terms
It would be most appreciated.
thanks and happy day after Valentines .

Troubleshooting

1 - turn off your firewall
2 - if you're using a router make sure you open a port (8000 or above) for the stream and use the modem IP, not the router IP ( http://myipaddress.com )
3 - choose the built in server if you want to stream by yourself or create a new one (by clicking the "+" button in the server window drawer) to use an external server

So sunday you say... but starting saturday evening Euro-time or will it be sunday start into the monday?

If the first I can do an early sunday morning from 5am GMT on. If the latter I'd prefer either sunday late afternoon or early morning.

Preferred Start Time (GMT/UTC): see above

Username: mystahr
Set Length (30 or 60 min.): either/ flexible

1 or 2 Paragraph Description:

His broad variety of sound sources often seems to go diverging directions, reflecting his viewpoint that nothing ever stays the same; the world around us, and indeed nature itself, erode and evolve through chaos. That very chaos has become a fundamental element in Mystahr's work, its sheer beauty always enticing the listener, its unpredictability always keeping the listener's direct attention. Rummaging through the experimental debris of such diverse sounds, sounds that may occasionally seem unbearable, he has made a profound discovery: amidst this chaos hides a calm. Pursuing that calm both in music as well as in life, Mystahr quests on, ever restless.

Doomtube will also be able to upload still photos from musicians playing in their studios as we stream on Sunday. So everyone take a pic if you can of yourselves playing. If you can post something before or during your set doomtube believes he may be able to video mix still photos into moving images. _________________ ElectroCasa
